Shop girl Nan Spencer (Alice Faye) saved all her lunch money for a two week cruise vacation to Havana. Only the ship has run aground. The company sends Jay Williams (John Payne) to fix any problems. Nan claims malpractice by the Captain and she refuses to sign Jay's waiver. Now, he has to arrange for her best possible vacation in Havana.
This starts with Carmen Miranda doing a musical performance in Technicolor. It's a lot of fake Havana which is too bad. The little bit of beautiful Havana exterior shots are amazing if only they do that for the whole film. The premise is functional although the comedy isn't that great. Everybody is trying their broad comedic best, but I'm not feeling it. It's an old rom-com musical.
